Every schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers. What if people and domesticated plants have a similar relationship. Featuring Michael Pollan and based on his best-selling book, this special takes viewers on an eye-opening exploration of the human relationship with the plant world--seen from the plants' point of view. Narrated by Frances McDormand, the program shows how four familiar species--the apple, the tulip, marijuana and the potato--evolved to satisfy our yearnings for sweetness, beauty, intoxication and control. |
